DEVELOPING: A failed assassination attempt on Egypt’s vice president in recent days left two of his bodyguards dead, U.S. sources tell Fox News, though that information has yet to be confirmed on the ground in Cairo.
Such an attempt on the life of Omar Suleiman would mark an alarming turn in the uprising against the government of President Hosni Mubarak, who only recently named Suleiman as vice president in an effort to quell the unrest and possibly line up a successor.
And so it goes.
Egypt ping.
Pro Mubarak agitators no doubt.
I may need to revisit my discounting of a possible Egyptian civil war.
How inspiring
Sources tell fox - Failed assassination attempt on Egyptian VP kills two guards. No confirmation yet in Cairo- WH: "not getting into it"
Iran and Uhbummer working together..
now its time to crack down if Mubarak wants Egypt..
Obama deliberately did zip to help the Iranians gain freedom ...
But he has managed to royally screw up a most important ally, in what, less than a week?
Who was/were the perp/perps?
It does not take a rocket scientist to see what is happening here...
But an attack on Suleiman would ruin the sweet little narrative the anti-Mubarak Islamo-marxists are trying to foist on the world media.
No wonder Gibbsie wouldn’t touch it.
If true, I guess this would put to rest the nonsense that it’s only Mubarak supporters who have resorted to violence. But I won’t hold my breath.
The MB emerges.
New developments... It just never stops.
Not that big a deal. Mubarak has had 6 attempts on his life by Muslim Brotherhood agents operating under the names of different groups. Still, this assassination attempt is a sign that the VP has hit the big time. You don’t really get assassination attempts on peons.

Why, then, wouldn't Gibbs shoot down the report?
My guess is that it was Code Pink
Was Hussein behind this?
